The dawn Of another year, with all
its possibilities and responsibilities,
is upon us. Father Time keeps on
with remorseless pace and as the
years are added and the frosts of
age whitens the locks, an increased
swiftness and torturing pains seem
TO attend the pace The New Year
Of Youth and the New Year of Old
Age present vistas strangely dissimi-
lar and of wonderful oppositness.
To one the beginning of the end is
scarcely suspected, to the other, the
end of the beginning is almost too
plainly apparent. The record of
1886 has been closed, and the books
for 1887 are opened, and to every
one there are 365 pages or space to
be filed with industry, energy, hon
esty, faithfulness, or with miserable
lettering lazy idleness and foul wrong
Let us all strive to meet the posi-
bilities and the responsibilities as
true men and women, worthy of Him
who gave us mind to think and a
will to do. To all of our readers we
extend the usual greeting with the
hearty and earnest wish of a "Hdppy
NeW Year"

Christmas was not observed by
the public generally; the stores,
workshops and the general routine
of labor went on as usual by a major
ity of persons, SO we learn.
On Christmas eve the weather was
very inclemcnt, though the people
gathered early and the chapel was
filled to its fullest capacity and
many left, in consequence Of there
not being room. The exercises were
opened with singing by the choir :;
prayer by j. r. Smaltz, song and an
address by Rev. c. w. Foltz, after
which there were alternate song dee.
lamations for about an hour Then
the presents and luxuries were dis
tributed which gladdened the hearts
of all present So tar as we can learn
each one acquitted himself admirably
well. We should like to give the
program in full, but we do not think
il prudent to encroach upon valuable
space.
